    Hey guys,

    Looking to lift the tacoma again, (2014) im at a 3 inch RC atm. Im getting out of high school so money is limited; looking at a MaxTracks Spindle Lift 6.5 inch for $908 or a Rough Country 6 inch for $1000ish. Both are the cheapest and lesser quality compared to Fabtech and what not but i cannot afford that at the moment. Which would yall choose? Both have fairly good reviews from what i’ve seen, Im leaning towards MaxTracks because its cheaper and easier to install, therefor i could probably do myself.

    With both of these lifts, is there any better ride preference between the two? Smoother drive, etc. And any negatives between the two?

    Let me know anything about the two types of lifts above, regardless if its negative!

    Thanks guys.

    Joey.

    I have the MaxTracks I ended up removing the stock Bilstein with the spacer and installing the Bilstein 6112's on the lowest setting and now my truck rides like a Cadillac! I also have the allpro expedition leafs with the ubolt flip and fox 2.0 on the rear. Can't even feel curbs

    The max track shocks reminded me of ranchos. They died real quick. If it's in the budget Bilstein is the way to go!

    Awesome man. Yeah i did more research the spindle actually gives you 0.75 more track width; which will be good because more of a stance. Also getting .5 bigger which is nice; will be around $1058 for the shocks included. Probably gonna be doing that. Thanks man so much!

    Call Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road and get her to package a kit with the spindles and some coilovers (best not use a spacer to get the extra 2.5" lift, use a lift coil and upgraded shock) tons of good ones out there just comes down to budget

    That's a super solid kit ^
